What is the process for transferring transcripts from another college to Citrus College? I'm planning to transfer soon and want to make sure I do everything correctly so there aren't any delays.
The process of transferring transcripts to Citrus College is fairly straightforward. Here's the typical step-by-step:
1. Request transcripts from your current college: Contact your current institution's registrar's office and request to have your official college transcripts sent directly to Citrus College. Most colleges and universities allow you to request transcripts electronically, but some may require you to send a written request.
2. Direct the transcripts to Citrus College: When you're ordering transcripts, you need to specify that they should be sent to Citrus College's Admissions Office.
3. Follow up: Once you've requested your transcripts, follow up with your current college and with Citrus College to ensure they were sent and received. It is best to allow ample time for this process as delays can occur.
4. Evaluation: When Citrus College receives your transcripts, the admissions office will evaluate your previous coursework to determine how it applies to your chosen program of study at Citrus.
Remember, these transcripts must be official and sent directly from your previous institution to Citrus College. Unofficial transcripts and documents opened by the student are typically not acceptable.
Take note of any deadlines for submission. If you're hoping to start at Citrus College in the fall, for instance, you'd want to aim to have your transcripts in by spring or early summer.
Lastly, each school's transfer process can differ slightly, if you ever have any doubts or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to Citrus College's Admissions Office directly for the most accurate information.
